Nick Diaz- Nick began playing the guitar at a young thirteen years old. Ever since that moment, Nick’s love for the instrument has developed into a finely crafted art, which he exhibits nightly on stage. Pulling from influences such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Mike Stern, Joe Pass, and a number of others, Nick quickly developed a grasp for his instrument and soon adopted his own style. Feeding off a strong root in Texas Blues, and soon absorbing the rich musical culture of New Orleans, Nick’s songwriting is unique and distinctive separating itself from today’s wave of generic rock. Today, Nick continues to practice and write striving to perfect his musical art, an art for the listening public.
Jon Massing- Fresh from the Tallahassee, Florida area, Jon brings a fresh new groove to the Experiment. After obtaining a degree in Jazz Studies from Florida State University, Jon relocated to New Orleans in search of something fresh and moving. After working with Diaz in the same restaurant, the two collaborated on musical ideas to push the Experiment as far as it will go. Massing drums a steady beat with the structure and seasoning of a true Jazz veteran, versatile in all genres, thus complementing Nick’s aggressive blues/rock styling.
Alan Broome- A native to New Orleans, LA, Broome’s blood runs thick with musical knowledge and life. Well versed in both the acoustic and electric bass, Broome brings a new voice to the Experiment, adding color and flair. Throughout studying Music Education at Loyola University New Orleans, Mr. Broome has performed with numerous jazz musicians in and around New Orleans, as well as the college rock acts, Brotherhood of Groove and Nude Antz. With the Experiment, however, Broome is able to explore in all musical genres instead of confining his abilities solely to one style. Together, Broome, Massing, and Diaz create for their audiences a new sound.
